shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hey all. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and the newest version of Wemin. Per the tutorials I have found, I have created the Virtual Host via Webmin and it created a file in the following location :: /etc/apache2/sites-available/maskedarmory.com.conf The directives inside read as follows: DocumentRoot "/home/maskedarmory" ServerName maskedarmory.com <Directory "/home/maskedarmory"> allow from all Options +Indexes </Directory> ServerAlias *.maskedarmory.com Now, whenever I hit http://www.maskedarmory.com, it is pulling up my blank index.html page that is located in my var/www folder. I cannot figure out why it is not pulling from the directory that I have specified above in the new Virtual Host. If anyone can shed some light on the issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Is there a link to maskedarmory.com.conf within /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hello thorpe. Yes there is. There is one in the sites-enabled and then the sites-available as well. The sites-enabled maskedarmory.com.conf has a little link icon on the top of it within Zend Studio. Obviously, I have restarted apache since I made the virtual host changes. It just still wants to pull from the var/www document root. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm pretty sure its the use of the wildcard. Change.... ServerAlias *.maskedarmory.com to ServerAlias www.maskedarmory.com And restart apache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Then I would say that Webmin has broken Debian's Apache configuration. Take a look in your main httpd.conf file and make sure that somewhere within it (it should be near the bottom) is a line that includes your vhosts. It should look something like.... Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, the etc/apache2/httpd.conf has nothing in it. Could that be an issue? When you set up a virtual server, it gives you the option between creating a virtual host file or putting it in your httpd file. The etc/apache2/apache2.conf has "Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/" at the very end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sorry, your main config is /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, so its all good. Do you have any other vhosts setup? Can we see them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 That is the only one at this point. I am just baffled as to what is going on. Any recommendations as to another web administration platform for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that is free that you have success with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Any recommendations as to another web administration platform for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that is free that you have success with? I don't bother with any of these admin panels. They play around with the configurations too much for me. I find it allot easier to use a terminal and the tools provided, and if I need to, I script certain parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Gotcha. How can I do this myself then? How can I just set up the virtual hosts without needing the panels? Just a link to a tutorial would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm not sure where there's any tutorial specific to Debian/Ubuntu but the process is simple. Create your vhost file and place it within /etc/apache2/sites-available. Then execute the a2ensite command, or simply make a link from /etc/apache2/sites-available/<vhost>.conf to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/<vhost>.conf Make sure all directories defined within your vhost file exist (including any log file directories), then restart Apache... sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart As you can see its much the same setup as what you have now. You should take a look at the Apache error logs for a hint on what the trouble might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 It is simply looking for everything in the var/www folder: [Wed Jul 28 07:05:02 2010] [error] [client 61.69.168.46] File does not exist: /var/www/wow-armory-profile-611.html, referer: http://vbforums.mmobay.net/wow-usa-accounts-auctions-buy-sell/393025-80-warrior-fury-arms-pvp-5-6k-6k-gs-spectral-tiger-500-obo.html [Wed Jul 28 07:05:59 2010] [error] [client 61.69.168.46] File does not exist: /var/www/wow-armory-profile-611.html, referer: http://vbforums.mmobay.net/wow-usa-accounts-auctions-buy-sell/393025-80-warrior-fury-arms-pvp-5-6k-6k-gs-spectral-tiger-500-obo.html [Wed Jul 28 07:13:49 2010] [error] [client 64.83.202.180] File does not exist: /var/www/wow-armory-profile-388.html, referer: http://vbforums.mmobay.net/wow-usa-accounts-auctions-buy-sell/390694-80-shaman-7k-achieves-realm-first-title-%24175-great-vanity.html That is my Apache2 error log is showing.

shanejeffery86 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Well, good God almighty. I figured it out. I went ahead and picked my own location for the virtual host file and made it the httpd.conf file in the Apache2 directory. Once I did that, I restarted the server. Got a Internal 500 Error. Then went to my error log to find that I had an invalid command 'RewriteEngine', which was there because I did not have mod_rewrite installed. It all works now Thanks for your guidance thorpe.

trq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 So that means the Include directive wasn't working properly? Actually, now that I think of it, the vhost file might night have had the right permissions. What is the output of: ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ?
